BuildKit in depth: Docker's build engine explained
A cool thing about Buildkits LLB is that you can write your own front end to BuildKit. At Earthly, this is sort of a starter task for everyone who joins the team.
My frontend was based on intercal and I don't recommend anyone use it[1].
Buildkit functions a bit like a compiler. I wrote an article once about how it all works. [2]

I reduced the size of my Docker image by 40% – Dockerizing shell scripts
Dive is a great tool for debugging this. I like image reduction work just because it gives me a chance to play with Dive: https://github.com/wagoodman/dive
One easy low hanging fruit I see a LOT for ballooning image sizes is people including the kitchen sink SDK/CLI for their cloud provider (like AWS or GCP), when they really only need 1/100 of that. The full versions of both of these tools are several hundred mb each
